So I replace the distrubitor cap, spark plugs, oil, radiator fluid, timing belt, and put gas in it and it is full cause I filled it full at the gas station, I did all that but when I go to start it it cranks but dosen't start. What is my problem? Please help me.

Hi there billyjocraig and TY for the donation this is what keeps the site going

No start condtion -do below and report back with some results so that we can continue to assist you in this matter.

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
